19th amendment, clarity, Mercury square Uranus, Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde, turning point

Cosmic Weather:

If you want to understand something, take it apart and reassemble it. This doesn’t just apply to objects.” – James Pierce

With the illuminating rays of the creative Leo Sun conjoined with Mercury retrograde (9:58 pm), we may be privy to a greater measure of mental clarity at this time, which could result in some kind of turning point, with respect to our thinking or understanding, especially in relation to a matter that is already under our noble, heady review. Too, this matter may particularly pertain to how we choose to express ourselves or our talents (Leo).

Additionally, Mercury Rx is squaring radical Uranus in Taurus (exact at 5:47 am), seemingly giving us carte blanche to espouse, or at least evaluate, more experimental processes or methodologies. Similarly, this aspect may conveniently open the door for us to temporarily channel our ‘inner contrarian.’

It also may be one of those days when we may hear or see something “out of left field” that we may not have been expecting.

(In my own case, I literally had a large pine tree come down in the open field to the left of my house overnight, supplying me with yet one more thing to joyously opine about on this cheery Sunday morning!) 🙂

Today’s Sun-Mercury configuration also denotes the midway cycle in Mercury’s apparent backward dance in the heavens, which began on August 4 and concludes on August 28.

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified in the US giving women the right to vote.

Astrologically, that day, feminine-ruling Venus, at 8 degrees of harvesting Virgo, was exactly sextile to transformational Pluto at 8 degrees of Cancer. Cancer has traditionally been associated with, among other things, patriotism and love of country.  Venus was also applying to a conjunction with Saturn, which suggests an addition of duties or responsibilities.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

River In A Forest

Cosmic Quote of the Day: “There is a grace of kind listening, as well as a grace of kind speaking.” Frederick William Faber

When we are in conversation with a person, and listening to their every word, we are “fully gracing them” with our presence. When we choose to carefully formulate our words, or what we want to say to another, we also are displaying kind or thoughtful regard for them because we are letting them know that we value, honor and respect their time and attention, as well as showing to them that we’re concerned with how our words may impact them. English novelist Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name, George Eliot, also once quipped that it is always good to know, if only in passing, charming human beings. “It refreshes one like flowers and woods and clear brooks.” In astrology, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, symbolizes the kindnesses or niceties that we bestow upon each other.

Today’s Energy:

Communicator Mercury, in articulate Gemini, is sextile gracious, soothing Venus in heartfelt Leo, today.  Ideally, we are expressing ourselves with more politeness and refinement now; coming from a place that admirably embraces and showcases the social and loving aspects of our being. Accordingly, this is a great day to write love letters, read loves stories, exchange hugs and kisses, or to speak sincerely what’s in our heart. Also, it’s a good time for social or party planning, including sending out invitations, buying stationary, or putting together floral arrangements.

The Moon exits individualistic Aquarius for dreamy, mystical Pisces, mid-morning (10:22 am), where it will hang out for the next couple of days. Later, a harmonious trine from the Moon to motivating Mars, in nesting Cancer (11:19 pm), helps to provide us with a reassuring sense of our home as our personal sanctuary.

Tomorrow, the illuminating Sun also makes its annual opposition to re-configuring Pluto, the planet of renewal and transformation, so there may be a growing sense today of some kind of a turning point getting ready to take place in our lives, or around us. Pluto often shows us what needs to be taken down or gotten rid of, and then later, what needs to be erected, or resurrected, in its place.

Astrology April 12, 2011: “Taking Center-Stage” The Leo Moon

COSMIC WEATHER:

“Broad paths are open to every endeavor, and a sympathetic recognition is assured to everyone who consecrates his art to the divine services of a conviction of consciousness.” Franz Liszt

It’s that time of the month again, with the Moon stationed in glamorous, “Hollywood Hills” Leo, when we must dutifully ascend the theater stairwell and take our rightful place, center-stage, beside leading man, George Clooney.  It’s, of course, a thankless job, but hey, somebody has to do it! 🙂

Yes, the Moon in “entertainment” Leo paves the way for us to be a “shining star” today in our own real-life dramas. The colorful Leo Moon is naturally upbeat and creative, authoritative, and self-confident, and generally imbues us with more of a desire to “make a big splash” and “receive recognition” for the things that we do.

Too, the Moon’s winning trine to energizer Mars in “pioneering” Aries (1:54 pm EDT) helps to fill us with loads of passion and daring. This aspect is also favorable for sports and exercise.

Later, the Moon’s sextile to “stabilizing” Saturn in partnership Libra may help to anchor our relationships (10:28 pm EDT), and can inspire us to make commitments (Saturn). Saturn governs the “urge for security.”

In The News: Japan’s nuclear safety agency raised the severity level of the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant today to a 7 – the highest level on an international scale, bringing the crisis on par with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Astrologically, we still have Mars involved in a tight square to Pluto (this influence was exact late yesterday). Pluto rules radiation and nuclear power. (Also, on the shadow side, Pluto can denote crisis situations and turning points.)

Mars, of course, tends to act as a catalyst for events, especially in an “initiating” sign like Aries which it rules. (The “square” aspect also tends to “force matters.”) Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan. Such a tragedy.
